Cerezo Osaka host Machida Zelvia at Yodoko Sakura Stadium, Ōsaka (Osaka) on Saturday, Dec 12 at 6:00 AM in the J1 League.
Cerezo Osaka come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Machida Zelvia, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
Despite playing at home, Cerezo Osaka face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Machida Zelvia have won 5 of 8 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Cerezo Osaka won 0–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Cerezo Osaka a slight edge, but Machida Zelvia are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
